Hi,
What I'd like to do is run Xwin on my windows XP box, and run the window
manager on my linux box. I assumed that all I'd have to do is set the
DISPLAY environment variable to point at my x-server, then run "startkde" to
run the window manager. Unfortunately, the Xwin server is refusing
connections. I've tried running "xhost +" on the windows machine, but this
does not appear to have any effect unless I'm already running a window
manager - which defeats the whole point.
So, does anyone know how to make "xhost +" work when there is no window
manager, or alternatively is there any other way to get Xwin to accept
connections?
Thanks in advance
/John Vincent.
